What about if I just bought a used car, will I be covered by the lemon laws?
In many states you will be covered. (Again, check with an attorney to find out if you live in a state in which used cars are covered by Lemon Laws.)

Often the laws for used cars are connected with the inspection sticker requirements for the state. State safety inspections are required on all cars (at varying intervals, depending on the state), and can cover parts including lights, brakes, windshield wipers, tires, horns, windows, and seat belts. If the car fails a safety inspection within a certain period of time of the purchase of the car, and if the repairs exceed a stated percentage of the purchase price of the car (again, these vary by state), you may be able to cancel the purchase of the car and receive a full refund.

There are some states that define their Lemon Laws for used cars the same way they do for new cars, so that even if your car passes inspection, if it has met the qualifications, you can cancel the sale.
